What is the performance of the most high-speed computers in the world, 
and what are the procpects?

To Prof. Cocke

Do you agree that it is possible to develop such programming techniques 
that their use will make program interpretation almost as efficient as a 
compiled program execution, and that these techniques are 
sufficiently natural?

To: Mr. Cocke

1)      What is the highest speed of modern computers and what are the perspectives

            10 mips            100 mips

2)      Do you believe that it is possible through proper hardvare to achieve the speed of
interpretation which would be comparable with the speed of compilation.

No but the disparity will not be as great as it is today
